Sustainability of Metal Cans

Sonoco’s steel food and aerosol cans are 100% recyclable and can be recycled infinitely producing new consumer products we use every day.

The hermetic seal found in both food and aerosol packaging protects the product, prevents spoilage and reduces product waste.

In the past 20 years, the weight of steel cans has been reduced by 33%. Lighter cans positively impact the environment by reducing the amounts of raw materials and energy required to produce them.
